Focusing on the four artists at the heart of the collection of the Fondation Marguerite et Aimé Maeght -- Miró, Calder, Giacometti, and Braque -- the book also examines the remarkable contribution that Aimé Maeght, founder of the collection, made to art in the mid-twentieth century as a collector, dealer, exhibition-maker, and publisher.
